The language of union finds its voice with "Breath", the subtly powerful, startlingly seductive recording from Turkey's Mercan Dede. Guided by the Sufi philosophy of counterpoint - everything exists with its opposite - Mercan ornaments his electronic wizardry with ney (flute), kanoun (zither), clarinet and darbuka (hand drum). Mevlevi poetry, heart-rending solos, ascendant vocals and driving beats occur as naturally as our inhalations and exhalations. Sufi spirit burns brightly in this music. Dede is a Montreal based DJ of Turkish descent, who creates music that captures elements from both of those worlds. "Breath", which was inspired by the elemental properties of air, revels in lush Middle Eastern grooves that prominently feature indigenous instrumentation and Persian percussion and rhythms. It's a light sounding album that reminds one of ancient cultures along the Eastern shores of the Mediterranean. There are electronic elements in the mix as well, but they are worked into the backdrop with enough finesse that they often don't stand out. Includes guest artist Azam Ali on one track. |
